You thought if love was real, it wouldn't falter. That when you spoke your truth—laid your heart bare—he would meet you there, unshaken. Because love doesn't stop for fear, doesn't waver at the first sign of struggle. When someone truly wants you, they choose you. Again and again, without hesitation.
But he didn't.
And maybe that's the hardest part—not the loss itself, but the realization that he was never holding on as tightly as you were. That the love you thought was different was just another almost. Another almost that left you wondering if love is meant for everyone except you.
But listen—God doesn't take away what is meant to stay. He doesn't let real love slip through your fingers. If someone can walk away, let them. If they hesitate, let them go. Because love—the kind that moves mountains, the kind that writes poetry into your bones—doesn't need convincing. It arrives with certainty. It stays.
One day, someone will hear your honesty and won't run. They won't leave you second-guessing your worth. They'll hold your heart like it's something sacred, something they'd never dare to lose.
And when that day comes, you'll look back at this moment, not with regret, but with gratitude. Because every "almost" is just proof that you are meant for something greater.
